Getting this in before midnight…

I woke up early this morning to play Earth & Beyond. Yes, I beleive that I am officially hooked on playing this awesome game until I can’t see anymore. Problem is, that the machine I use to burn stuff is the same machine that I play this game on, so playing cuts into valuable burning time, and therein lies something of a dilemma for me. Oh, well.

This afternoon, I decided that since it was going to start raining, I would have to get some actual winter clothes. I went to a few of my favorite clothing stores and bought myself some nice-looking clothes, mostly the same kinds in different colors because I like to put as little thought as to what I’m wearing as possible, just so I can concentrate on bigger issues. The most important decision in my day is never “What am I going to wear?” and it never will be. I got some long-sleeved polos, some pants (gasp!), a new jacket, socks, boxers, yadda yadda yadda… not like we need to list everything here.

I went over to my buddy Johannes’ place for the weekly Mah-Johng night. I don’t really play MJ anymore, and to tell truth, I haven’t really gone to hang out at his place as much as I used to. Tonight, surrounded by my old friends and stuff, I realized that I didn’t want to be there anymore. I was just mentally exhausted, having to listen to inane conversation and try to act as thought I were interested in what was going on. I like talking to Johannes, Bruce, Karen, and a few others, but damn if the other people just grate on my nerves. They never make me feel welcome, and when they do talk to me, I sense it’s simply out of some stupid modicum of social consciousness. I guess it could be worse, but that’s not what I call an evening of enjoyment. Just because I don’t like stupid humor, or am just not interested in the slightest about them. It’s draining to be there sometimes… and sometimes, it can be a hell of a lot of fun. I guess it’s just a crap shoot, and I’ll see what happens next week. Right now, though… BLAH.

I’m looking forward to an interesting week of being back in town from last week. My Wednesday and Thursday are already booked solid…. I just booked Tuesday night pretty good, too.
